Love is everywhere around us. Love runs riot and rampant. Love sparkles pure and clear in dew drop on end of Staveley's nose.

I'll never forget weather the day I met mother-in-law for first time.
Gale force winds and sleet from the north east. Sank a dredger in Liverpool Bay.
All hands lost.
I wish I'd been on it.

Breathe deeply. The smells of a perfect summers day.
Stale socks, damp cricket pads, and the slow heady scent of a leaking gasworks.

Last time Edna redecorated lavatory she forgot to screw seat back on toilet.
First time I used it I bent forward to kick cat and whoosh! I was through door, I were downstairs like a tobogganist on Cresta Run.
I would still have been going yet only my braces got tangled in bannisters.

My first kiss were Blackpool Bank Holiday Monday, 1922.
When my late wife fell head first into the jellyfish infested briny.
I kissed the donkey what tripped her.

Possibly the greatest sitcom ever made, proud to own all four series. Over time I have turned into Uncle Mort.
Can't recommend the books enough too, darker than the TV adaptation.

As there is such a dearth of comedy on tv for aspiring writers to watch I’m going to recommend a classic sitcom every day for you to find. I’ll start with I Didn’t Know You Cared (1975-9) by the brilliant Peter Tinniswood, a dry, mordant, weird show starring Liz Smith & Stephen Rea, amongst many.
